"They are here," Fourth said, his hands instinctively moving to cover his ears. Tremors shook his body violently, and it was only through Gemini's support that he managed to remain standing.

"Who's here, Fourth?" Gemini questioned urgently. However, he soon realized he didn't need Fourth's response to discern the truth. The answer revealed itself with a familiar, thunderous howl that reverberated through the air. A colossal figure began to emerge, its presence sending shockwaves through the surroundings. The twenty-story monster they had encountered on their journey from the university to the safe haven had arrived, drawn by the tumultuous events unfolding within the sanctuary.

Gemini tightened his grip on Fourth's shoulder. With determination burning in his eyes, he prepared to stand his ground and protect his Fourth from whatever new challenges lay ahead.

---

The arrival of the colossal monster sent shockwaves through the already chaotic battleground. Its massive form dominated the landscape, towering over buildings and casting an ominous shadow. The deafening roar it emitted was enough to send shivers down the spine of anyone who heard it. It had been a formidable enemy during their previous encounter, and now it had returned, drawn by the commotion and destruction.

Gemini knew that facing such a monstrous foe was an insurmountable challenge, especially with Fourth's distress triggered by some unknown force, reminiscent of their first encounter with the monster. He recognized the urgent need for a strategic retreat.

"FotFot, we need to get out of here," Gemini urged, his voice unwavering despite the overwhelming odds.

Fourth, still trembling from the arrival of the colossal monster, nodded in agreement. With a deep breath, he focused his mental defenses to shield his mind from the colossal monster's influence, conjuring a faint but protective golden aura around himself. For a fleeting moment, Fourth regained his composure and shared his thoughts, although still with a hint of tiring in his voice.

"It still hasn't taken notice of us. We should hide."

The colossal monster began its gruesome feast on the hapless zombies, its massive jaws crunching through bones and flesh. The scene was both horrifying and mesmerizing as the smaller zombies futilely fought back against the colossal creature, their efforts in vain due to the overwhelming size difference.

As Gemini and Fourth were on the brink of retreating, they were abruptly halted by the unexpected behavior of the tentacled monster. Instead of following the instinct to flee like any rational creature would in the face of a imminent threat, it seemed to be driven into a fury by the pulsating light of the crimson beacon from the city's safe haven. Its already reddish eyes burned even brighter as it unleashed its telekinetic power, hurling large masses of concrete and debris to block their escape path.

"Shia!! Is it out of its mind? Its actions are clearly drawing the colossal monster's attention," Gemini cursed, his voice laced with frustration and concern.

With the tentacled monster's chaotic actions drawing attention, the colossal monster finally took notice. Its bloodshot eyes shifted from its gruesome meal to the source of the disturbance. The colossal monster emitted a exciting, deafening roar that shook the very foundations of the surrounding buildings. Droplets of blood and gore splattered the ground as it abandoned its feast and ran toward their location.

As Gemini prepared to take action, Fourth placed a hand on his shoulder, guiding them toward a nearby building where they could hide. He uttered, "Let the monsters deal with each other."

The tentacled monster, in the midst of its raging state induced by the crimson beacon, somehow retained a semblance of logic. It understood the pressing need to address the greater threat posed by the colossal monster first. Recognizing that Gemini and Fourth were still in its vicinity, it allowed the two of them to go into hiding.

With astonishing speed and agility, the tentacled monster intercepted the approaching colossal monster. It was as if a primal instinct for self-preservation had temporarily overridden its frenetic behavior. Its massive tentacles were raised high, ready to confront the oncoming behemoth.

Inside the shelter of the building, Gemini and Fourth peered cautiously through a shattered window, their curiosity piqued by the unfolding battle between the colossal beast and the tentacled monster. The tentacled monster displayed an uncanny control over its telekinetic abilities, gathering massive rocks and debris from the ruined buildings nearby.

With an eerie precision, it hurled these immense projectiles toward the colossal monster, which had drawn dangerously close to their hiding place. The first rock struck the colossal monster's chest with a deafening impact, eliciting a bellow of pain and anger. Its bloodshot eyes narrowed in fury as it struggled to withstand the attack.

"What is that?" Gemini muttered in a mixture of awe and curiosity. Amidst the relentless bombardment of rocks, the colossus monster's chest had been shattered open, revealing a gruesome cavity shielded by layers of grotesque amalgamations of zombie and human flesh. Within that horrifying orifice, an eerie and emerald light emanated, its glow casting eerie shadows in the surrounding chaos.

As Gemini stole a fleeting glimpse of the unearthly emerald radiance, piercing the sky and seemingly challenging the crimson glow of the safe haven, a disconcerting sensation enveloped him. Dizziness washed over him, and a faint whisper, laden with an otherworldly presence, echoed in his ears. It refused to dissipate, like a haunting melody that threatened to unravel his sanity, urging him to succumb to his darkest desires.

In that moment, he felt like his own dark power was challenged by this mysterious force, and an anger surged within him, as if his inner darkness was roused and wanted to break free. Gemini quickly averted his gaze, realizing the perilous edge he was teetering on, and focused intently on regaining control over his power.

Fourth, on the other hand, experienced something much more intense. The moment the hollow space was revealed, he immediately covered his ears and let out a harrowing scream of pain. He fell to the ground, convulsing and trembling violently. His hands clutched at his ears as if trying to tear them off, and golden blood began to seep from his nose, eyes, mouth, and ears as he constantly pleaded, "Make it stop. Make it stop, please."

"FotFot!" Gemini cried out in panic, his heart racing as he rushed to his boyfriend's side. He embraced Fourth tightly, ensuring that his boyfriend couldn't harm himself any further. Fourth's screams and pleas for the torment to stop filled the air, and Gemini held him close, desperate to provide whatever comfort he could.

As Gemini held his boyfriend close, the flower symbol on his jade necklace, a cherished gift from Fourth, accidentally made contact with the golden blood. In that moment, a brilliant and radiant light suddenly enveloped them, creating a third beam of light piercing the sky. Sheltered by this ethereal radiance, only then did Fourth's frenzied actions cease, leaving him exhausted and barely conscious, but no longer in agony.

As if three weren't enough, a fourth beam of light soon joined the moonless sky, its eerie sapphire radiance casting a dread-inducing sensation upon all who gazed upon it. It triggered a primal instinct of fear deeply embedded in their genes. If Gemini hadn't been preoccupied with caring for his FotFot, he might have noticed that the position of this new beam coincided with the escape path of the spider queen.

The presence of these four beams of light appeared to infuriate the natural order itself. Thunder rumbled, and lightning seared across the night sky, as if the heavens themselves were protesting this intrusion. Multiple strikes of lightning converged upon the sources of all four lights, as if the very laws of nature were rejecting the unnatural forces within them.

Amidst this tumultuous display of power, the dark and furious presence that had previously lingered in the air, emanating from the safe haven, writhed in agony under the relentless onslaught of lightning. It hastily retreated, seeking refuge within the source of the crimson light beam, as if the lightning strikes were the bane of its existence. As it withdrew, the fury that had infected other monsters and zombies dissipated, leaving them in a state of confusion and disarray.

The tentacled monster, now free from the crimson beam's influence, quickly realized the catastrophic consequences of its actions and attempted to flee the area in desperation.

Inside the building, Gemini's worry escalated as the lightning strikes bombarded the area, and he sensed that the structure might collapse at any moment. Purely driven by instinct, he knew they had to stop the radiant light beam if they had any hope of surviving this chaotic situation. In a quick decision, he removed the jade necklace from his own neck and gently placed it around Fourth's.

"I don't know if you can understand me or not, but if you don't stop, all of us are going to die," Gemini implored, hoping that somehow the pendant would heed his words.

Miraculously, as if in response to Gemini's plea, the ethereal light from the pendant ceased its radiant display, instead lingering protectively around the vicinity of the two of them. Gemini carefully hoisted Fourth onto his back, feeling a faint laugh escape from his boyfriend's lips.

"You have to carry me again," Fourth mumbled, his head resting on Gemini's shoulder. "When will it be my turn to protect you?"

"Rest now, cute boy," Gemini replied, his voice filled with tenderness as he continued to support Fourth. "There will come a time when it's your turn to protect me in the future."

Outside, the colossal monster was in a state of sheer panic. It used its enormous hands to desperately cover the gaping hole in its chest, while lightning continuously struck it, each bolt heralding an impending judgment.

The colossal monster let out a pained, anguished cry as it frantically seized any nearby zombie monsters, using their mangled remains as gruesome patches to fill the void in its chest. It repeated this grisly process for a while, the gaping wound slowly closing with each grotesque addition. 

As the last fragment of the hole was filled, the ethereal emerald light beam ceased its radiance, and the thunder in the sky abruptly ceased, marking the disappearance of the two sources of unatural light. The other two sources of light remained present, still suffering from the wrath of Mother Nature.

With a charred and battered body from the relentless thunder strikes, the colossal monster directed its rage toward the tentacled monster, which had inadvertently caused its excruciating torment. It let out a deafening roar, a testament to its sheer fury and determination for revenge.

The tentacled monster, which had fled for a while, was floating toward the safe haven, reluctant but aware that it was the fastest way to distance itself from the colossal monster. However, an eerie sense suddenly washed over it, and it turned back, realizing that the colossal monster was after it. With a powerful display of strength, the colossal monster seized a nearby building and hurled it at the tentacled creature from a distance, intending to crush its target beneath tons of debris.

"There are so many buildings!! why did it have to choose this one??" Gemini felt a mix of anger and pity for their unfortunate situation. The building the colossal monster had chosen was the one they happened to be in. Now, they were sent flying through the air along with the collapsing structure. Gemini had no choice but to rely on the radiant bubble of light to protect the two of them. He still couldn't use his power, as it continued to seek control over him since it had been triggered by what was inside the colossal monster.

As the building hurtled through the air, crashing and crumbling, Gemini held Fourth tightly, their bodies encased in the protective bubble of radiant light. The world around them was a chaotic whirlwind of debris, dust, and destruction. The sheer force of the collision seemed like it would surely spell their doom, but the ethereal light continued to shield them upon impact.

Desperation coursed through Gemini as he struggled to maintain his focus and protect Fourth. The ethereal light that surrounded them flickered and shimmered, pushed to its limits by the external forces at play. Yet, it held steadfast, safeguarding them from the worst of the devastation.

Amidst the chaos, the colossal monster roared triumphantly, believing it had finally defeated its elusive prey. However, its victory was short-lived. From the dust and debris emerged the tentacled monster, battered and bruised, with the lower half of its human form gone. It hovered in the air, determined to continue its escape, and Gemini knew that their ordeal was far from over.

With Fourth still in a fragile state, Gemini carefully rose to his feet, his body aching from the impact but his resolve unwavering. He cast a concerned glance at Fourth, who was breathing but clearly dazed.

"Are you okay, FotFot?" Gemini whispered.

Fourth gave a weak nod, signaling that he was conscious and trying to gather his bearings. Gemini was relieved to see his boyfriend in a relatively stable condition. He then scanned their surroundings, realizing they were now very close to the safe haven. Its towering walls loomed in front of them, offering some semblance of safety from the chaos outside. However, he also knew that approaching the safe haven came with its own dangers, particularly due to the ongoing lightning strikes.

Though it was a perilous journey, Gemini had no choice but to continue toward their planned destination. With Fourth still on his back, he moved cautiously through the wreckage, trying to distance themselves from the tentacled monster. He could sense the colossal monster's relentless pursuit, as it continued to launch masses of debris in their direction.

It felt like they were navigating a battlefield, with dust and debris flying in all directions due to the massive explosions and impacts. Each step they took was fraught with danger, but Gemini's determination to reach the safe haven and protect Fourth remained unwavering.

"Where are the entrances?" Gemini muttered in frustration as he faced the towering wall that stretched 15 meters high. There was no obvious way in sight, and the urgency of their situation weighed heavily on him.

His frustration was mirrored by the tentacled monster, which found itself trapped with its escape route cut off. Unable to fly high over the wall due to its injured state, it let out a deafening howl of frustration and desperation, using its telekinetic abilities in a futile attempt to break through the massive walls of the safe haven. However, the walls remained resolute, impervious to its efforts due to their sheer size and durability.

Realizing that breaking through was impossible, the tentacled monster turned back, steeling itself to face the inevitable revenge of the colossal monster. As it did, multiple masses of debris were hurled toward it, some of which it managed to divert using its psychic powers, but as exhaustion set in, it became increasingly difficult to fend off the relentless barrage. Eventually, the tentacled monster was buried beneath the weight of the debris.

The colossal monster, having learned from previous mistake, didn't immediately celebrate its victory. Instead, it stood from a distance, its eyes imbued with a tint of emerald hue fixed on the pile of debris it had created as a makeshift grave for the tentacled monster. It planned to wait and see if its enemy was truly dead or if there was any sign of movement.

Gemini quickly realized the opportunity as the debris thrown by the colossal monster happened to cause cracks in the walls, reducing a portion of them to a height of 10 meters. With the debris piling up on the tentacled monster, he could climb over the other side of the wall. He just needed to hide and wait for the colossal monster to move away before doing just that.

The the crimson beam of light emanating from the safe haven appeared to yield to the relentless barrage of lightning strikes. Slowly but reluctantly, it dissipated, fading away from the night sky. In a synchronized response, the sapphire column of light also vanished. The thunderstorm above began to dissipate, gradually restoring the calm of the night.

The flood of zombies that had been drawn toward the safe haven ceased their advance. No longer under the unnatural influence of the crimson beam of light, they wandered aimlessly, their collective frenzy subsiding as the ethereal lights disappeared.

Minutes passed, and with the colossal monster's departure, it seemed convinced that the tentacled monster was dead and had no intention of venturing inside the safe haven. Perhaps its injured state played a role in this decision, or it had no desire to confront the entity within the haven's walls.

Gemini executed his plan, and he knew that time was of the essence. He carefully climbed to the top of the wall, his power now under his control as all the otherworldly light beams dissipated. Despite the added challenge of carrying Fourth on his back, he was able to leap high and gracefully descend from the wall.

As Gemini landed inside the safe haven, a gruesome sight unfolded before his eyes. Despite the absence of zombies within the haven's walls, the scene was one of chaos and carnage. He saw numerous people, both civilians and soldiers, lying on the streets. Many were dead, their lifeless forms sprawled across the ground, while others were injured and moaning in pain. Blood stained the pavement, creating a nightmarish tableau of violence and destruction.

It became evident that the crimson beam had plunged the people within the safe haven into a furious rage. They had turned on each other with savage ferocity, fighting to the death in a frenzied state of madness. The result was a gruesome and heart-wrenching scene that now lay before Gemini's eyes.

Despite the danger and the eerie atmosphere that gripped the haven, Gemini's priority remained clear. He needed to find a safe place for Fourth and ensure his boyfriend's well-being. With FotFot still on his back, he carefully navigated the chaotic streets, his eyes scanning for any signs of refuge amidst the horror that surrounded them.

In the distance, the approaching lights of vehicles caught his attention. It appeared that some individuals, perhaps those who had managed to regain their senses, were trying to restore order within the haven. Whether they were drawn here by the colossal and tentacled monster's battle or for other reasons, Gemini had no intention of involving himself in their tumultuous situation. His immediate plan was to find a hiding place and gather information about what had transpired within the safe haven before making any decisions.

Gemini's keen eyes then spotted a manhole cover for the sewage underground line on the street. Without hesitation, he summoned his power to lift it into the air and create an opening. With Fourth securely on his back, he descended swiftly into the underground passage and closed the manhole cover above them.

In the dimly lit and confined space of the underground sewer, Gemini and Fourth would spend the remainder of the night. It was a far cry from the safety and comfort they had hoped for within the safe haven's walls, but it provided them refuge from the madness that had consumed the streets above. As they settled into their makeshift sanctuary, Gemini held Fourth close, offering what comfort he could amidst the uncertainty that lay ahead. The night was far from over, and the horrors and unnatural events they had witnessed still haunted their thoughts.
